Steve's Job

When I started studying computer science it was my avowed purpose to one day have Steve's Job: to be Chief Executive Officer of my very own technology company. Now Steve is no longer CEO of Apple and it feels very strange. I feel a bit like Bill Turner would feel if one day Jack Sparrow gave up on being captain of the Black Pearl. The goal is still there, but it's daunting to see that a brilliant and driven man has worked himself into what seems to be an early grave. I hope for his recovery, and I hope he will be chairman of the board for a long time to come. Meanwhile I'll soldier on, collecting experience that I hope to put to good use some day. Who knows? Steve certainly put a ding in our (digital) universe.
